Deep Breath and Family

annual family income: It was not likely new, and may in fact have been pretty dingy, according to Brandon Sun. You saved hard, and perhaps formed a family, and then you took a deep breath and made the big decision to buy a starter home. If you are like most people, you started out pretty modestly, perhaps sharing an apartment. If you were like many of your friends, your new house likely cost about twice your annual family income. You did OK. But if you think about it, you know that you have been really fortunate. It still took a lot of careful budgeting to cover all the costs, but you could do it. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
